Mocha Pro 3D Camera Solver Workflow - Part 02

Join Design Director John Dickinson as he breaks down a range of examples created in After Effects and Blender using the Mocha Pro 3D Camera Solver. In this Part Two, John demonstrates how he used the 3D Camera Solver to easily track a shot with a large area of water.

This is just fantastic how Mocha Pro 2024 works.
And can you make more tutorials on working with Mocha Pro and Blender?

[@BorisFXco]

We have a series planned for different hosts including Blender. In the meantime, Elizabeth uses Blender and Mocha Pro in this section of the recent livestream : ua-cam.com/users/live4z9TYNIAWmM?si=Eu0jObL08A2DKsjJ&t=2898

[@mitrichstv]

@@BorisFXco Yes, thank you, I've seen the video. Elizabeth is excellent in Mocha Pro, but there was a shot with a piano that she, unfortunately, didn't have time to finish.

[@thilinarupasinghe7968]

Great contents. Thank you.

[@BorisFXco]

My pleasure! Thanks!

[@arnavpatil8622]

If these videos are made for Davinci Resolve, it would be very helpful. A lot of us use Mocha pro along with Davinci.

[@kspmn]

You can easily get the same results inside Fusion page from Davinci Resolve... It already has a built in camera tracker, but you can use the OFX version of Mocha Pro, even the standalone, and export the same data to fusion to start compositing there... Hope that helps! 😅

[@BorisFXco]

Yes, true. We have some Fusion inside of Resolve tutorials on their way.

[@arnavpatil8622]

@@kspmn Agreed. However, I am still learning Fusion as well. So, if the tutorials use Resolve, it will help me learn faster. Now I have to look at two different tutorials to do the same thing😅

[@arnavpatil8622]

@@BorisFXco That would be of great help. thank you!

[@BorisFXco]

The only way to use 3D track data in Resolve is via Fusion. We'll try to make it as straightforward as possible.

I am big fan of boris fx. I hope in future add more big feather in mocha pro.

[@BorisFXco]

How big do you want it? At the moment you can manually add as much feather as you want using the Select Edge tool : borisfx.com/documentation/mocha/11.0.0/#_the_advanced_toolbar
Or just keep adding using the + button in the Edge Properties window :D

I've been learning syntheyes for 3D camera tracks, but I'm wondering: Is there a particular reason to learn 3D tracking in this vs syntheyes?

[@kspmn]

The Mocha Pro Camera Solver module uses the same Syntheyes engine itself, but as you can see it's a extremely simple module, with just a few options, fast and easy for quick turnarounds. Syntheyes on the other hand is a extremely robust and complex package for production level camera tracking and matchmoving tasks, so even sharing the same engine base both workflows are totally different. But having the option to use Syntheyes camera solver inside Mocha Pro, one of the best planar trackers out there is just a blessing! ✨

[@BorisFXco]

@kspmn absolutely nailed it. That is the correct answer.

[@kspmn]

@@BorisFXco Thanks so much! 🫠

Hello . Please, Mochapro 3d camera tracking training for daVinci resolve, please, please

[@BorisFXco]

We've got host-specific tutorials coming for Resolve. I hope you like the Fusion page. Don't worry, we've made it easy!
